Coaching Research

My research colleagues at Oxford Brookes University and I have been making great progress on our project to create an instrument that can be used to describe what happens in a coaching session. This project has been funded by the Institute of Coaching at Harvard University.

Jonathan Sibley and co-researcher Tatiana Bachkirova have received a $25,000 grant from Harvard Medical School's Institute of Coaching to study the inner workings of coaching.

Through this research, working with international panels of expert coaches, we will create a standardized instrument to describe what actually occurs during coaching sessions. This will allow comparisons between different styles of coaching as well as a description of the factors that all forms of coaching share.
